FIRS!' REPORT OF rHE Sire RVT ( . :o . NNI TEE, AYYOINTEtt TO CONSIDER. What-Offices in the United kitikdoin,'and in the foreign Dornioioo+ or his Majesry,come within the Purview of the 404 4th Respirations of, the House„ on the, Third • Report froth the Committee on the Public Expenditure of the United Kingdom. - • SINECURE OFFICES. . The Reiolutiona referred to . your Committee are ,as follow : • " - 2. Resolved;That in addition to the - usiful and cffedive measures -already taken by 'Parliament for ;the abolition and re;utation of -various' sineCure'of ,•and offices executed by deputy, it is ex .Prdient, alter roviding other and sufficient means ttir..,en:,bling 'his Majesty duly to feciiopense the ,faithful discharge of high and effective civil Ofices,'to abolish all offices which' have revenue vb.itliout employment, and to regulate all: otfices *nen. have It:venue extremely disproportionate to empioyment,; excepting - only such as are - connetled with: the, personal service of his Majesty; orof his Royal Family, regard being had to the existing intere-fs in :any offices so to be- abolished'or regu lated." `.` 3. Resolved, That 'it is expedient to reduce all 91fices, of Which 'the- effeaive duties are entirely'or principally di,eharked by deputy, •to. the sala . 6 and emcklutpei,ts attuallY reCeived tor, executing The nett 'of such otfices; .tegard being had , to any increase which-may ktppear necessary on• account' of •additional responsibility; and sufficient security fleing• talten for the, due perforinance of the servie, in all cases of trust connected with public money; regard ty!ing also • bad to the existing iuteests in such offices. - " 4..,ReSolved, Tharit is expedient, after the ex piration of auy existing interest in any office, which is itititiell to the sale of . any - appoitlimetir in arkir'of the courts atllaw.,• to make provision 'to *pre& eni the Sale of' such. offices; •under such regUlationi as May be conducive to the public interest, by appropriating apart 4 the', emOlaments of sdch - offices towards 'defraying the s:licirie..; of tht Judges; or other offices p , ..) the establishment of such Courts,,or towards the dignity of the offices in which such right of gale is now vested." Y , ;ur emornittee have in consequence proceeded to consider what• offices it might he expedient to suppress, or to regulate, after eroviding''either and puificient means for enabling his. Majesty duly to re comp-use the faithful discharge of high and effec tive 6, it office. The offices which. come 'within the purview these r-solutions are, I..otfices having revenue without employment; 2. Offices having- revenue extremely dispropor tionate to employment; and 3. Offices of which theeffeEtive duties are entirely or pvinOpally - dischaiged L t y deputy. [Excepting always such Offices asare,conneded with the per'-• sonal service of his: Majesty, or of his Royal Fa- 4. - Offices, the appointments to Whickare 10 be sold in any , of the Courts of .Law. Your Committee beg leave, in the first place, to remark, that, from the late period of the Session at wii , ch they wen- appointed, and .tromp "the impoAsi bility, of procuri!‘ , the attendance of any witnesses .who , -were not ruriclent in town within a period' so limited,' they ha v e not. been able to examine the whole of the ohj. cts r,ferreti to their consideration. They have, however, ,;ec.nted it to be' their duty, to make .a report upon so much of the ,matters rtl feried to.ttiem.as they have had the means of inYes tigriting. Your Cooiniittee, Wider these circumstance,, have thought: it adiriSable to postpone altogether the coo ,sider ition of ttiei s alFablc otl4 . es in the Courts of LaiAi, mentioned in the fourth ResOl .scion.; as constituting a distinct head of inquiry. your Coniinittee hafe — iiiebserve, that the num ber of offices ix hichlia-: revenue without any im ployment, either of principol or deputy, is very in consideroble; and that by tar the greats-st number of offices vvhi,Lh are commonly described-as " s ne cure otfiees" fall propeil) and ,- -r the description of 's offices executed by dei•uts ," or offic,s having re ' Venue disproportionate to employment. Atiiong the offices, the revenue of which appears dispropor)onate to emplolment, or vvh:cli arc per. formed -princi, ally by - deputy, there ~.re .snore to which great pecuniary and official n:.spo..sibility is attached ; and some; froth the Holders of which 'large decurities are req ired,. , It "May therefore .be eipe diem that stich offices should not at anytime be by persons less_ responsible than those who at present hold them: In other cases it'seerns pi - obable that the princi- OIS may, under pecUliar circumstances, have pro vided for the discharge of their duties by deputy at a lower ,salary Ahan that which might fairly be con sidered, as an adequate retnunetaritifi'fot the services to be perforioed,and whick . rnight, indeed, be-neces- SarY to erisnee the due performance of those services, sgo Id it be found expedierit to withdraw the sUper intendance aud authOrity of the principal. It appeai-i,-therefnre, to your.Corrunittee, that in some instances it• might be expedient toannex, the duties of such of the offices to' be regulated, as have great resporniihiliry; without requiring continual per— sonal attendance, to other offices i bf an efficient na ture; by . which means a saving - of 'the wholereve nue of such reanlated offiCes might accrue to the sacivt.provision_would be-made for the iesponsib'ility of the ,person in whom they may hereafter be vested. kn other instances it might be expedient, in acrOpting the principle of the third Re solution', to adtirit - of some modiriCationpf Oil: prin ciple, according to the peculiat circumstances- of the case.

For a lon4 pe . tiod'this higfi'Wfice has beet; bestowed on.pprsons o hav not been brought up to the pr i ofession of the Taw, and the duiie s o f it have in. c onsequence been suspen:led: Your Committee thick it Occessary, on this sub. jett, to call the attention of. the Biuse to an ar ticle of. the Union; wherein, it is enacted; " That 'die ,Court o(Justiciary do, also, after the Union, and witlistand , ng thereof, remain in ate - time ensuing within Seatland as it is now constituted, subject nevertheless to such regulations for the better ad ministration of justiCe.as.shall be made by the Par liament of .Greatßritain, and . without . prejudice. of o6ei - rights of Justiciary.' ,„ Your Committee have next proceeded to consider those Offices which have revenue extremely dispro . portionate to:employment ;-or the duties- of which are : rincipally performed by Deputy. • Upon this subjeCt, they think it necessary first to advert to those. Offices the duties of 'which are im portaot, though requiring little personal attendance; but: which, from .their nature or responsibility, can only be dischargod by persons of high official . sitca . - With respect to these Offices, your Commit tee suggest the expedie'ncy of annexing them lo other offices of high rank and responsibility ;, by windh means a saving of their whole einoluthents may . be derived to t Among the most important offices of this descrip tion are those of the Auditor of .the Exchequer, and Clerk of the. Pella. It is stated to be material that these'officei , should be preserved as essential checks ~on the issue of,Publie:Money ; but it appears to your C, T. la-nittee that such offices might with great propriety be ; annexed to those of President of 'the Council, and Privy . Seal for, tlie . time being;' or to any other ()Elio!. of, high responsibility which is not connected with the Treasury, or Exchequer. The Office of Master of the Mint is found in the list in theSupplementary_Repott, which your Com— mittee have adopted as the ground of their -Report. But, your .Committee conceive, that neither this office, .nor that of one of. the joint Payntaiters, wbicn is also included. in the-same list, comes undet that description of." Sinecure Offices," or Offices . executed by deputy, whibo is intended to be referr ed to their con,ideration, They are not Offices held, either by patent ,or by custom, for ,life; not < given as the reward of Public Service. It may however be right to, observe, that the division of the Office of Paymaster of the Forces does moLappear to grow out of any thing in the constitu tion of ; that office; and that in point of fat-L. the Wit le duty, of .that office, now.- become very con siderable, may he said to be performed exclusively by one of the joint Paymasters. The Office of, Master of the Mint is .undoubtedly an office requirin g little or no attendance, though one of occasional responsibility; but the preseut Mager of the Mint discharges the doors of Presi dent of the Board,of Trade,,a situation of no.emohr merit, and requiring constant attendance and apph- cation. The duties of the Office of Vice-President o f t h e same Board are in like wanner discharged by the treasurer of the Naey.;- and, .senerallv, the effec tive sitnations at this Board, and others-of a similar description, to which no salary emolumeth is attadied, have been filled by persons holding oth&r 'high citth ial si;uati , ns, ,uch as those above mention ea ;he etnoluments of which would otherwise ap p,m; diproportionafe to their actual employment. This observation, applies equally .to the whole business of the Privy Council, w h ic h is t ransa tl e d by Members, who, with.,the single exception of the Lord President himself, are not entitled .to any salary or emolument for their attendance at that Board. For the duties still performed by the Chief JuS tice in yre, South of Trent;your Committee refer o the evidence .of. Mr. ktinson i now, and for a long iitne past Secietary.to that:Chief Justice. The duties appear,to your Committee to. be of a merely fortnal natule, which, so far as the continued' per fortnance of them is essential to the preservation of any of the rights of the .Crown,. might —in the o i Ailion of your Committee, ,without inconvenience tie transferred to some ,other efficient office, such as that of Surveyor of the Woods and.Forests:Ttae ' Government of the :Isle of Wight • appears riot to ,be of a military nature. A, part-of the func tions of the Governor are .similar- to. thr>e of the Lords Lieutenant of Counties, and . like- them. might be discharged without emolument. _ _ -- - Your Committee.have next proceeded to examine, so far as their time and means of information would permit, the. more numerous class. of Offices, which, being performed entirely or principally by Deputy, appear .to them to come more immediately within the purview of the Third Resoluti on . Ot this. descripti on ' your. Committee have to no tice the following,Offices In the Court of Exchequer :—Clerk of the Pipe; Comp trollei 'of the Pik ; Clerk of Exchequer Pleas ; Clerk of Foreign Estreats ; Comptroller of First FruitS; the Chiro graphers;, foreign Appuser ; King's Reinernbrancer, 'toge ther with which is h e ld the: 01lic.e of Register of Deeds in Middlesex.; Marshal Ot the ExCheqUer; Surveyor or Green Wax. • Register of High Court Of Admiralty. Register of the High Court •ot Appeals Tot Prizes. Register of I ugh Couit of Delegates. In the' Alienation Office ; three Commissioners Receiver- General ; !Waster in•. Chancery tWo Clerks. • i The duties of the four Tellers of the Exchequer are performed altogether by their Deputies; .and as to their responsibility for the 'cli,tody of public . mo ney, your Cbmmii tee observe, thai the same amount of security *ln c h' i s required trotn the Tellers is - usudlir given to them by their Deputies ; from which your Committee areled to infer; that, bOth W ith re spei.A to their duties, and to their responsibility, these Ortices,might be safely reduced to the present emolumepts.of the Deputies.' The Office of Clerk of the Parltarnents :s per: tormed almost wholly , by Deputy ;- and is one of: , those which would come within the purview of the, Third Resolution. On 'the subieel- of - this'OffiCe, however, your Committee think it neres•ary esite cialiy to, l'•prese.iit, that the Clerk of Paebanlent, th o u g h appointed tj the Crown, is a serv.int of'4the H09 , .e . ! , f Lords. In the Mint, youriZotntnntee have to notice the following Offices Warden, Comptroller, Surveyor of .Meltings, arid Clerk of the Irons. Di the Privy Seal Office; the four principal Clerks. Four Clerks in the Signet-Office. In•the Excise . The Comptroller General of Accounts, In.:;•eetur General of !plaid Duties. Regibter to the CommissiOtteis of Excise. Your Committee, having ath erted.to the- Offices .nerformed:by Deputy in the Colonies,. think it ne cessary to observe: that their emolument s arise from fees and salaries paid within, the Colonies. Your Committee have further to observe, -that notwith standing an. Ad passed in the .22cl year of his,pre sent Majesty's reign, c. 75, the object of which was to enforce residence in the Principals, many o f t he se Offices.co;itin , -e to be executed wholly by Deputy: Comm ttee hive ascertained the following to be of thatde.scription: .

In SC , TLAND, it appears to your Committee that the following- Offices come Within 'the puryiew of the Third Resoltition, `as being wholly or principally distharged . ny-Deputy. The existence of many of hese ancient Offices appears to be secured to Scot land by the Aet of Union ; but it is also Any:Lied in that A&, that they shall be:subject to such reg lions as the Parliament . of Great Britain shall here after make • ' • • The Keeper of the Great Seal ; the K.eeper, of the ,Privy Seal • the Keeper of the Sig n er• Lord Register ; Direab r of the Court of ,Chancery ; Clerk 'to ditto ; Rectiier of IliAtops'.

Rernembrancer of the King's Bench ; Clerk of the Pipe ; Clerk of.

The Office of Keeper of Records in the Receipt of the Exchequei; appears to be an efficient Of fice of trust, 'am& not Overpaid by a salary of 4001. per annum.
